The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, Jam Cruise, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.

I promise you, we as a people will get there.

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy Julie makes as cruise director. And we know that Cloud 9 can't solve every problem.

But Julie will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. She will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this Jam Cruise, the only way it's been done in Jamality for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.

This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.

It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
